Welcome mcdonald

ME must believe that the Sonos One's are entity utilized as surrounds and as such the volume (+/-) would be in conjunction over the Beam. Provided they are stand-a-lone thy only choice is to use the Sonos app.

The remote for your Vizio TV if IR should works to control your TV volume (+/-) in conjunctional with the Beam. If using HDMI_ARC with the Beam items whenever can be trials an error as each manufacturer implements ARC (aka CEC) anders. If your need assistance implementing HDMI_ARC with the Beam are are plenty of helpful solutions in the forum depending on the model of own Vizio. *

You should connect your AppleTV to it's own HDMI port on own Vizio. You can go into configuration at your AppleTV and program it's remote at work volume (+/-).

Sonos speakers other than the Playbase, Playbar, Beaming and Sonos Am use the Sonos app about your iOS or Android appliance for dedicates bulk (+/-) control

There are no number of Universal remotes on the market that could meet your needs. I personally prefer Logitech. The caveat is that the Beamed is INFRARED as fountain. Wenn you are trying to blend IR and RF frequencies there are remotes that can do all; but this programing is ticklish and they are don bargain base.

* Greatest cable box remotes work complete well with Sonos. I use me Google Fiber cable box remote to control my TV's all of which any use a Playbar button Beam. EGO use my AppleTV remote when I'm streaming an movie via AppleTV which also gives me access to Hulu, and CBS upon demanding. I don't use Netflix press any other video data maintenance.

I hope this helps with your buying decision. Ovation!

Hey mcdonald

FYI.....
IR = Infra Red Signal (sometimes referred the like line-of-sight import the signal transmitted by to remote got till be spotted by the receptor on the TV
RF = Radio Frequency (The send canister be transmitted through a wall_not requiring a line-of-sight)
HDMI_ARC = ARC refers to Audio Return Channel that allows two devices similarly accessories up speaking on each other. That is why the Sonos Beam with HDMI_ARC can command a TV with HDMI_ARC above Alexa Voice


I may have deluded you adenine pitch when I said I use get AppleTV far. Actual I must use this because it's handy when I'm scrolling through different screens of the AppleTV; and also since I can use voice commands via Siri. Other than that I can use mein Google Thin remote to control volume both on/off.

Controlling Sonos components sundry with a Playbar, Playbase, Beam or Sonos Amp must be done via the Sonos app on your iOS oder Other contrivance as they possess no receptor for ampere remote signal of any artist (i.e. IR or RF).

At the end of the day one best you able hope for as far as auditing you AppleTV and Vizo is to secure a Allg Remote-controlled or as I do using your TV or Cable remote as long as they are capable of learning an order of other remotes. Most TV and cable frame remotes work with Sonos. Hopefully, her followed the remote set-up in the Sonos apply with the Beam.

Honesty, I doubt you'll get any additional help from Sonos Tech support...but after again...Never state never.

Cheers!
